(Best Syndication News) - A study investigated if energy drinks actually improved weight loss or increase athletic performance and found that not all claims were justified. The researchers were from Nova Southeastern University in Florida will have their study report printed in the most recent issue of The Physician and Sportsmedicine journal.

What they found is that most energy drinks had similar ingredients of caffeine along with other ingredients such as taurine, sucrose, guarana, ginseng, niacin, pyridoxine and cyanocobalamin. The researchers believe that most of the performance enhancement comes from the caffeine content of the drink. Caffeine has been shown in other studies to improve aerobic performance, but is inconsistent with anaerobic performance.

The researchers found that there is some research data that shows the combination of an energy drink consumed at the time of exercise might improve body fat reduction. This energy burning could decrease as a person becomes accustomed to the caffeine in the drink, which would mean less weight loss overtime.
